<br />Process to Interview <br /> <br />Forward finalized job description including salary; benefits; with terms to <br />BAHEP; The Alliance; Greater Houston Partnership; Texas Economic Development <br />Council; and IEDC in Washington, D.C. (International Development Council). Also post <br />on Seabrook web site. Advise area economic developers of job opening including region <br />of Galveston; Conroe; and Beaumont. This will help to insure that the economic <br />development community is made aware of the position and should create interest for <br />anyone wanting to advance within the profession. <br />Positive attributes would include a proven progression of job performance; <br />possible certification; bi-lingual in Spanish; and peer testimonials. An individual desiring <br />to add accomplishments to his (her) resume' would be the ideal match. What will limit <br />responses (in my opinion) will be the one year commitment; however, in the greater <br />picture, this may locate a more aggressive individual who is unnerved by the uncertainty <br />of continuation in the position. <br />One ofthe better ways to measure performance is in (a) number of contacts made; <br />(b) number of actual prospect visits; (c) number of actual locations; (d) professionalism <br />of communications; and (e) attitude/ work ethic brought to the job on a daily basis. The <br />sixteen responsibilities outlined should all be factored significantly into the evaluation <br />equation. The person must profess to be a self-starter who is computer literate; can <br />handle multiple tasks; and is flexible enough to change schedules on short notice. <br />Hopefully, we will have 2-4 candidates to interview; however, this may be <br />difficult to achieve. If all else fails, I would seek or recruit a recent college graduate who <br />has majored in marketing; advertising; or communications. The University of <br />Mississippi (Hattiesburg) has a graduate program in economic development that has <br />produced some fine developers previously and is ongoing. December/ January are <br />excellent months for position changes typically. <br />
